MEW: non-specific production target start date for today's IPO Lowriders [LOWRD] Oleg Max Jan 12, 09:04

fwiw, THR said shoots this spring Antibody Jan 12, 09:06

With zero star draw, how is this film likely to get any more than a limited release? I know it says Universal, but it reads like STV. PVL Admin Jan 12, 09:18

See The Fast and the Furious. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 09:42

FF was about fast cars and an undercover cop. This movie tagline says he wants to build the perfect lowrider. Initech Jan 12, 10:20

Both are about the car tuning culture of LA and appeals to the same demo. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 10:43

FF's success was based on the film's ability to break out of target demo. This one seems very narrow. We shall see. Initech Jan 12, 11:29

Demo will be smaller for this one, so not quite as wide appeal IMO. {nm} PVL Admin Jan 12, 11:49

I am happy to be wrong, i just don't see what you see... {nm} PVL Admin Jan 12, 12:05

LAT: Latinos represent 18% of the moviegoing population in the U.S., yet they account for 25% of all tickets sold. FAST6 Antibody Jan 12, 12:09

Actually, Latino moviegoers accounted for nearly a third of FAST6's weekend audience. 33% of $120M = $40M. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 12:11

Interesting numbers. I think franchise power and big name cast helped FF6 draw. This movie has none of those things. eg NFSPD {nm} Initech Jan 12, 12:35

FF had little star power when it started out. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 12:56

Now I can't get that damn song out of my head :( {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jan 12, 18:53

Low. Rye. Der. Ride a little lower. (ba ba ba ba ba da de, do da de doo-ie.) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jan 12, 18:55

Ba ba ba ba bap. Ba ba ba ba bap. Ba Baaaaaaaa. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jan 12, 18:56
